dear friends
Last week, I happened to meet one Mr Srikumar Menon, a Corporate Trainer and a passionate researcher on Bhagwad Gita. During the course of the conversation, we discussed about leadership qualities and 'role-models'. Recently, one of our members wrote in this group about why in India, we are talking about only Mahatma Gandhi as 'role-model' for the past sixty years. He was also asking, as to why we were not able to find one. Now, we talk about Dr Abdul Kalam, who has inspired the youth.
I was discussing about the dearth of leaders in all spheres, including Corporates, politics, etc. We have a mistaken notion that leaders are those who are in position or power.
Mr Srikumar Menon told me that the same question was asked by Arjuna to Lord Krishna. Arjuna wanted to know who were the 'role-models'. In Bhagwad Gita, Lord Krishna says that whatever leader does, will be followed by others. In Chapter 3 of Bhagwad Gita (Karma Yoga), Lord Krishna explains about the role model and leadership, which are relevant for modern days.
A leader need not be in a position or power. Sridhar Menon quoted Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King who never had any power or official position. They were faithfully followed by others. Same way, the leader should leave a legacy behind him.
Immediately, I recorded his podcast (7 minutes) on the leadership as defined by Lord Krisha in Bhagwad Gita. Since this is more relevant for modern day youth to develop leadership skills, I am sharing this with you. Please click the following link to listen to the podcat.
